I took C programming in college and recently decided to learn it again. I have used this book and it is working great. Last week I created a little C application called addnames which allowed me to run he progam with a few arguments and it would link into the mysql database and insert those arguments as names into a table in the database. Given what I was able to re-learn from the book I was able to do what is a somewhat complex job. I then got the other C book (forget the name) which is about programming techniques and algorithms in C. I have only read a little of that book, but as I work through it should be well on my way to making some useful programs... gnome, kde or apache modules.
